[gary adcock]"While you can do a DV downconversion in the deck. this is best handled with a 3rd party card like the Kona's that walter and I use, that would allow you to do a frame accurate capture of the content as SD."

Am I right in understanding that I still use the deck to downconvert to SD, but then I can also choose PhotoJPG compression? And this has reliable TC? Would I then edit the offline in a SD 24p project?

Rather than renting/owning a DVCproHD deck, has anyone downconverted and dubbed their masters to DVCam for the offline, then conform from the original masters?
